I'm confused - if m3/4 comes out of US allocations for the foreseeable future, i.e. even after initial early adopter hysteria does down, then ED MSRP is what we will pay, rather than x over ED invoice. Now I'm not diminishing forum dealers at all, but if we are paying MSRP, wouldn't it just be easier to use local dealer? I mean sticker price is sticker price so if I walk into Joe Bob BMW who does ED MSRP down the street, what's the advantage of using a forum dealer? Assuming Joe Bob is familiar with ED process obviously

People do ED for the experience, not really for saving $$. However if u are able to get $$$ off than it sweeten up the experience. Because think about it, you save $$, but when u add in air fairs, hotels, gas, and shopping your paying MSRP or even more.
